The caramel toned male saw something red and long stick from the bushes, the closer he got to the object the more details he noticed. It had scales and looked like a reptile. Maybe it was a snake? He sneaked around and forced his way through the bushes, hoping he wouldn't scare away the unidentified creature.

When he finally got out the bushes, he ran his hands through his brown curly hair  to get the branches and leafs out. Once he was sure he didn't look like a complete idiot, he noticed the noise had stopped completely. But instead he was met by warm fire-like winds hitting his skin. He slowly looked up and his heart stopped beating. His blood stopped circulating, and he couldn't blink.

In front of him, a huge beast, red like fire, four legs and sharp claws as long as lance's foot. Its tail was as long as five times himself and it's neck wasn't that long but still long. It had a pointy snout, and piercing violet eyes, shining in the dim morning light. Two long grey horns sticking out of its head, and sharp pointy teeth as long as Lance's fingers, bared as a warning. A snake like tong with a split in the middle, as far as Lance could see. Red scales covered its body, a pair of large wings, bigger than his house, situated at its sides. Maybe the last part was an overstatement.

Why was it here? It wasn't safe, they were still pretty close to the village.

The furious beast let out a low warning rumble, as for Lance to stay away. Lance blinked and he noticed the beast hadn't made a move to kill him yet. His blood started circulating again, as his heart beat picked up too. He cleared his itchy dry throat, as he stared up at the mighty monster.

''It's not safe here, you're close to a village, if they find you and they'll kill you,'' Lance spoke out, he knew the beast couldn't understand him, but that didn't matter. He felt a click. His body went limp, he felt calm. Maybe it was the soothing temperature radiating from the beast, or the calm sounds from the forest. Lance didn't know.

The beast growled and bared its teeth even wider, Lance took a step back, his eyes widening, ''I'm not a threat, I promise. Why are you here?''

The beast stared him down, blew a few deep breaths into Lance's face, and grumbled lowly. Suddenly it shifted its body, so his paw was visible. There was a deep gash in it. Lance cringed, as he saw that the scales were ripped off of its skin. That's also when Lance noticed all the scars on the dragon's body. One covering its cheek and another one his left wing.

''Do you understand me?'' Lance asked, eyeing the so said merciless beast. It breath out and closed its mouth,  groaning slightly at the shift in its position.

''Do you trust me?'' Lance asked, of course the dragon didn't, it could charge at Lance any moment now. The beast flinched as it looked at Lance, and then down at its own paw.

Lance swore he saw the dragon roll his eyes, but it was probably his own imagination. The dragon laid its head down, Lance didn't move an inch, they both were separated with only one meter distance in between them. Lance glanced at its violet mesmerizing eyes.

''I want to help you,'' Lance spoke more softly, the beast puffed out a breath again, making Lance's hair swirl back.

''Hey!'' Lance muttered and pouted, fixing his hair and glaring at the enormous beast. He didn't know why, but he felt a connection. He trusted this killer, without a doubt or regret.

The dragon made a laugh, sounding like a seal. Or at least that's what Lance thought it sounded like.

''You find that funny, don't you? You little bastard!'' Lance said louder and the dragon breath out again, harder this time making Lance lose his balance. He fell backwards onto his behind, and stared up at the paw tucked away from his sight.
